Doing so doesn’t mean you need to spend a lot of money to hire a PR agency, either — you can absolutely take the DIY route.
In this Lunch & Learn — happening on Thursday, October 12, 2023 at 12 pm — PR professionals will give the lowdown on how to pitch your organization to the media and secure news coverage.
